Dear David,
I'm once again facing the same issue as Santosh.

I would like to use digits=0, but it always errors out. I have a hunch
that this might be linked to the following in ?format:
digits	how many significant digits are to be used for numeric and
complex x. The default, NULL, uses getOption(digits). This is a
suggestion: enough decimal places will be used so that the smallest
(in magnitude) number has this many significant digits, and also to
satisfy nsmall. (For the interpretation for complex numbers see
signif.)

nsmall	the minimum number of digits to the right of the decimal point
in formatting real/complex numbers in non-scientific formats. Allowed
values are 0 <= nsmall <= 20.

But using Format(digits=0, nsmall=0) doesn't solve the problem.

Liviu
